AdvocateAndy explains how the shameless credit bureaus profit off medical debt and making sick people who can't afford to pay, pay anyway! Did I mention the bureaus are heartless and have no souls? AdvocateAndy does!

Thanks, Ed - the credit bureaus are the worst, truly.

Actually the fight to remove medical debt from credit reports began much earlier (2002?) but the greedy thieves who run the Big 3 credit bureaus and their lobby CDIA bought some friends (trust me, they have no real ones) and their political donations have kept medical debt on reports! Of course, the orange one has flipped the CFPB to oppose consumers, too!

Thanks for that historical perspective, Ed - it is very frustrating when there’s a big win for consumers and then it just gets stripped away by this Administration. The long-term solution is some form of Medicare for All - until then, what the CFPB achieved under Biden was poised to make a huge difference. It is 100% clear where this Admin. stands - and it is with those who buy friends and Congress critters.
